   "Abolish the Canadian laws that protect US Big Tech companies from Canadian competition. Make it legal to reverse-engineer, jailbreak and modify American technology products and services. Don't ask Facebook to pay a link tax to Canadian newspapers, make it legal to jailbreak all of Meta's apps and block all the ads in them, so Mark Zuckerberg doesn't make a dime off of us."

     I'm still waiting to see a movement to make it legal to jailbreak US tech in response to US tariffs, as @pluralistic has been recommending.
     Are there signs our gov is listening?
